Trial concludes in 97th District Court
A 50-year-old Bowie man was found guilty of criminal solicitation of a minor during a trial in 97th District Court last week, with the jury giving the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Along with the prison term, Lee Randall Hughes will incur a $10,000 fine. Formal sentencing will take place on July 29.
District Attorney Paige Williams said she was happy with the outcome and “glad to see the community pulling together to stop someone like this.” Assistant District Attorneys Kevin Henry and Casey Polhemus tried the case. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
The following indictments were filed with the 97th District Clerk following the November session of the Montague County Grand Jury.
There were a total of 13 indictments with one sealed awaiting the arrest of a suspect.
A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
